<div>I have to echo Wandering Bob's comments about gross overkill on the 5 gallon bucket. I'd strongly suggest paring down the amount of stuff in the bounce box if a person needed a 5 gallon bucket to hold it all.</div> <div> </div> <div>The 13x11x3" flat rate boxes have the advantage over the other size of coming with self sealing sticky strips in them. No tape required. Get a fresh one at each use and no label is required either.</div> <div> </div> <div>I fit lots of stuff into one of those boxes:</div> <div> - Guide, data and Yogi book pages</div> <div> - Spices to refill the small containers I carried.</div> <div> - Extra contact lenses</div> <div> - Extra items I was forced to get in town (3 pack of mini toothpaste - carry one, extras into the bounce box, for example).</div> <div> - Extra clothes at times (spare shirt, socks, etc)</div> <div> </div> <div>I generally sent 2 or 3 towns ahead - it's easy
enough to carry pages, spices and the like for 10 to 14 days. You'll also be able to judge if you'll get caught by a weekend and adjust where you send your box accordingly if it's only a couple weeks ahead max.</div> <div> </div> <div>I terminated my bounce box at Sisters - carried pages from there to Cascade Locks and sent the rest of the pages there or further north into Washington with the supplies I sent to White Pass, etc. Remaining items were either sent home or put into the hiker box.</div> <div> </div> <div>TC</div><p>
